Modern Mythology Continues

May 30, 2008

After posting about the influence of mythology and legend a few days, back, I just had to share a link to ish #560 of Order Of The Stick.

Even ignoring the pop culture references to Lost, Batman’s origin and a reference to ninja-pirate-monkey-robots, this panel alone is just all kinds of awesome.

If you don’t get the reference, you’re clearly out of touch with Classical Greek myth. No feta for you.

Have you been paying attention to your blogs?

May 30, 2008

If you have, you may have noticed a little something unusual about posts over three of your favourites for the last couple of weeks. Here’s the deal: We’ve been up to something.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

  1. Identify the three blogs involved. This bit shouldn’t be hard.
  2. Analyse the linked posts on the three blogs.
  3. Solve the puzzle.

To help you out:

The first portion will lead you there, if you can interpret the key 3.19.3 3 6 

The second portion will provide the path, if you can decipher the clues 1 18.5.4 8.5.18.18.9.14.7

The third portion will tell you how to submit your response 13.5.24 16

Only submissions using the correct method will be accepted.

Now, the question remains: Why bother? Why should you make the effort of digging through a bunch of posts on three different blogs? Howzabout for a mixed bag of a dozen booster packs?

On behalf of the three of us, I trust that whets your whistle.
